Wow this was pleasantly surprised by this random purchase. Needed a wine for a seafood dinner that was not a chard/PG/SB so picked this little gem up. Initially, it was served too cold but once it warmed up it really started to shine. Almost chard like with green apple, pear, citrus, and melon flavors along with some nice minerality and well balanced acidity.

One of my favorite producers. Even in this "down" vintage, it is still pretty good. Pnp and drinking well right now, still in its sweet spot but I would not let this vintage go much further. Smooth velvety black and blue fruits. Paired perfectly with filet mignon and blue cheese mashed potatoes.

Outstanding! This compares very well to the best Spanish albarino. Enticing apple aromas lead way to honeydew, nectarine, pear, and apple flavors. The salinity just makes you want to come back for more and more.
